Android based MP3 Player... Yes/No?

[HTC Dave]

Seriously, if Google came out with a MP3 player that ran on Android, would you buy it? Think about it, it has worked for Apple with the iPod touch running iOS (same OS that runs off the iPhone). Post your comments...

No, because I would just use my Android phone, one less device, one less price

See, I don't use my phone as an MP3 player. Because that just drains the battery. I'd rather keep my juice so I can actually use my phone as a phone and not as a MP3 player. I think it's good to only use it if you have a power source hooked up to your Android phone.

There actually is one that is coming out...It is pretty much a Galaxy S with no cellphone in it...

Not here, I don't like carrying so many gadgets. I use the phone as an mp3 player when in my car. I plug a charger into the phone and and cable into the phone and other side into the car (has an aux plugin).

Occasionally I'll use it when I'm flying but I will be carrying a small battery re-charger and be careful that I never run the battery down to zero.

Also, I've had an early Samsung mp3 player and I hated it. I suppose their new ones are a different ballgame but I can't get past that first one, plus the fact that it just isn't necessary to have both nowadays.

Well that new one is a full blown Galaxy S minus but with a worse camera...so it cant be that bad >.>

But based on statistics of the iphone..the itouch is mostly used by young teens where as an iphone by adults...not saying this hold true for everyone, just a results of a demographic survey I read a while ago.

Link to Survey? I know quite a few of my friends that use Touch's and I use mine every time I run which is about 6 times a week. Just curious where you saw this.

ok I think this is it..I read it from somewhere else which had a nice bar graph and all but you'll have to settle for text :/

Interesting. Seems incorrect from what I know of people who have Touch's, but that is just me.

That may be the case for you but for most others it is not I guess...but it makes sense...

1) most people that have an iPhone won't really bother getting an itouch....

2) most parents won't buy an iphone for a teen mostly due to expensive plans the iphone comes with...

3) Teens like ipods and probably want iphones but sicne their parents won't give them one they settle for an itouch

makes sense?
